Actually this is sort of a good point that nobody likes to admit. At first every one was sort of trying to laugh it off, because that is what we do with most things.
I distinctly remember walking by a TV in the hall and seeing that the pentagon was also attacked and saying "well, the world is ending, we should definitely go stock up on drugs after school."
People were pissed that their athletic practices and games were canceled; it really did take a while to sink in how major of an event this was. I mean on the one hand everybody knew it was a big deal, but it is just part of the American and even human condition that we try to see the bright side of things until it is undeniable.
